Christensen took several teams into Nebraska when he was the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach at Missouri from 2001 to 2008.

"I thought going in this could be the best line we've had here. Without a doubt, it isn't even close. These guys are special," Christensen added.

But there are improvements that need to be made. Wyoming threw two interceptions in the red zone. The defense, with only six players healthy and ready to play along the line, allowed Nebraska to go 9 for 17 on third-down conversions. And Christensen wants to see better play from his kickoff coverage and punt return squads.

Idaho lost its opener Saturday at North Texas 40-6 in the debut of coach Paul Petrino. Wyoming beat Idaho 40-37 last season in overtime in Moscow, Idaho.

"We can't be complacent," sophomore defensive end Eddie Yarbrough said. "Who are we to say anything because we haven't won. If you give (Idaho) an opportunity, they will expose you."
